holly cow. i bet that thing cools better than most water cooling systems. you got my hopes up with the "Nude Pica" title. I was thinking, This Forum is really getting interesting!!! :-)

You might try searching ebay or something and try to find a replacement mobo for that specific computer. i think normal is right, i don't think they make a mobo that supports a new CPU and DDR 400.

you just need an adapter like one that normal posted. but a like he said, Most Mobo's will have at least one.

that is interesting. the exclamation mark either means that is doesn't have a driver installed or the hardware is bad. you said that in re-installed drivers so my guess is that your vid card is bad.

does it give you any error messages when shutting down or when booting back up? try starting it up in safe mode(press F8 while booting) then open a few windows. if it doesn't shut down then you have a virus

[QUOTE=GrimJack;684113]There are usually 2 IDE connections on the motherboard; one cable connected to the motherboare can handle 2 hard drive - 1 master, 1 Slave - [B][U][COLOR="Red"]the slave being the farthest out from the MB connector[/COLOR][/U][/B]. The second connector can handle 2 more drives; 1 master and 1 slave. I …

some laptops are maxed out on memory when they come from the factory. i had a sony Vaio that had the same problem. it came with 2, 256 sticks of Ram and i replaced it with 2 X 512 and it wouldn't even turn on. i called sony and they …

[url]www.overclockers.com[/url] they can tell you all you need to know about overclocking and more.

667 isn't backwards compatible to 533. you can get a 533 DIMM. my suggestion is take your computer so someone competent and tell them to upgrade it for you. any Tech who hasn't heard of double sided ram should not be working on a computer.

yea.... ummm... why do you want to overclock again? you say you don't want to overclock it much. but to be able to tell a difference in performance you would have to overclock it by alot. if you overclocked it from a 2.5 to like a 3.0 or a 3.2 …

what brand is it? there have been a lot of problems with the really cheap Ipod knock off MP3 players. try deleting everything off of it the turn your anti virus off and put the songs on there again. If that doesn't work take it back and get a new …

at those temps it sounds ok... i would at least put an exhaust fan in though. i agree with willcomp. you need to draw the CPU exhaust away from the PSU. even with the exhaust funnel on the heat sync the hot air will still get sucked into the PSU.

I would suggest an 850W PSU. Water cooling is pretty much a waist of time and money. they do cool other things besides the cpu but you have to buy either a special component made for water cooling or a special adapter to fit each component. air cooling technology has …

honestly for that big of an operation i would suggest going to dell and having them build you a server. they are fairly cheap and will provide Great technical support(For large businesses). Plus that way there is a good warranty if anything breaks. and they will install it for you.

i had that same thing happen to me on a customers computer and i was stumped for a while because i thought it was a software problem but it turned out that it was a bad hard drive.

wait... im confused. do you turn it on with out it being plugged in? and once you plug it in then the screen and lights shut off?

do you live out in the country or in a rural area? sometimes on rural power lines the power isn't consistent and over time it could harm your system especially a graphics card. just a thought im not saying this is definitely the problem but it is something to watch …

i have a NetGear Rangemax 802.11N router and i recently did a fresh install of Windows XP on my desktop. i installed all the drivers and got it set up the way i like it. well i installed the driver for my lynksys USB 802.11G wireless card, and it will …

you can run a laptop off of a generator just fine. the only problem with doing so is that the current coming from a generator isn't consistent and over a period of time could damage hardware just from the power fluctuation. if you have a large battery backup most of …

1) quad is better 2)GeForce 9800 3) Yes. the 2nd/3rd hard drive will make for an easy dual boot system. If you are wanting to spend that much i would suggest this [url]http://www.alienware.com/customize/area-51-m9750-notebook.aspx?SysCode=PC-LT-AREA51M9750&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT[/url] Customize that one a little. get the dual 8700 graphics cards and the T7400 CPU and 2gig …

Does it do it with every game or just WOW? it sounds like your system is overloaded. have you tried lowering the graphics quality of the game? it might very well be the CPU. check the minimum system requirements on the game and make sure that your CPU can handle …

sittas87 is right. 1 gig max per slot. besides it is a lot faster to run 4 1G sticks then it is to run 2 2G stick

A CPU can't make sounds. the Fan on the CPU can make some pretty annoying sounds. when you say Seagate do you mean your hard drive? to my knowledge Seagate doesn't make a CPU.

did this happen right after you installed service pack 1? you might try uninstalling SP1 and see if it is just a problem with the update.

i have heard of a lot of people doing that. have you had any problems with ventilation? most of the people i have talked to have said buy a furnace filter and cut a little piece out. furnace filters run about $3 and you can make a bunch of little …

there might be a short between the battery and the PSU.

you may try uninstalling and re-installing the video drivers. then make sure that you resolution is set to the proper screen size and make sure the color pallet is set to 32bit and not 16bit.

That card isn't beefy enough to handle crysis I have a Nvidia 7950 512MB and it barely plays it on low graphics. what size CPU do you have?

when you formatted it you may have deleted the drivers that are installed on it from the factory. you might try downloading the original drivers from the manufacturers web site.
